So I downloaded the Sims 3 Games4theworld Mac torrent. After i unzip it I follow the new mac guide directions. I say "no" to updating and "cancel" when asked again if I want to update. After that screen i get the following message titled "Problem Report for The Sims 3" that says "The Sims 3 quit unexpectedly. Click "Reopen" to open the application again. This report will be sent to Apple automatically" I have a screen shot but apparently i need administrative approval in order to post

This happens every time I re-do the instillation steps. I've tried clicking "ok" and "reopen" but i get the same outcome every time.

I'm not sure what to do. I've tried redownloading and applying the patch. I was actually able to download and install it before so now i am clueless.

The reason I'm reinstalling is that I was a dumb dumb and accidentally accepted an update for one of the expansion packs which thus messed up the whole game and I couldnt even open it. I figured if I uninstall the game then reinstall, everything should be better. Not so much. Please help and let me know if you need more info!

So i followed the uninstillation direction exactly but it still didn't work (same error etc). But thank you for the link! Just thought I would give an update incase someone else runs into the same problem.

After some internet digging and trying the game out on another user ("test" account) on my computer I got the error to go away. This means its an issue with a file in my personal library. I tried figuring out which file was causing the error by copying and pasting parts of my original library into the Test's library. Unfortunately I still couldn't find the corrupt file so I am turing my computer over to the "geniuses" to see if they can figure out the issue from the ridiculously long error report.
